Noel Gallagher Slams Lady Gaga as 'Madonna-lite'

Though he earlier admitted to having no problem with the pop sensation, she seems to have recently gotten under his skin. "Her album gets played a lot around my house by my daughter and it's Madonna-lite. Madonna was hardcore. She took it to the edge musically as well as everything else." It seems he can't say the same for Gaga or any of her alter egos.
The former Oasis guitarist and songwriter is currently doing press for his debut solo project, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds. The newly minted frontman, whose barbed comments and family feuds have made him a media mainstay, also seems to have the publicity side sorted.
"Twenty years from now, will we listen to Lady Gaga?" He asked, rhetorically. "No. She might think she is making a stand for the freaks and the weirdos. But they're not going to have any decent f---ing music to play are they?"
The guitarist then extrapolated his frustration to include the state of rock 'n' roll as a whole, asking, "Who will retell the rock 'n' roll story for a new generation? The problem with bands these days is half of them get the music right but you read an interview and think, 'I can't buy into them as people.'"
Whatever the criteria is for being a rock star, it's got to include being able to go on a good rant, with extra points for being able to sustain it. And man can this guy rant! For now, Lady Gaga should be happy that he doesn't have a gun.

He's soooo right, 20 years from know or even half of that Gaga will be irrelevant. Im a fan but it's the 3rd album & Gaga's already running out of **** to keep the public's attention. She's an attention ***** & I'm just about the only FAN who will admit that. Oh & the fact she's having the gays back her up is also her scheme, Gaga is not bisexual as she claims....sure she may have slept with a woman...but I believe it was a bi-curious stage. In my opinion she will never date another women again. Finally, the outfits Madonna gets noticed when she's taken the dog out for a walk....Gaga gets noticed for her stupid outfits, but would Gaga get the same attention if she was dressed normal....HELL NO

His (and his brother's) music is good, but if there is anybody out there who knows how to arouse media attention with obnoxious comments about their peers in the music industry it is them ! Noel, shut your trap and make music !
Lady Gaga is much more gracious and at least as talented as you ! We will see and hear a lot more of her in the future than you might think. And we'll enjoy it.
Who is this guy anyway? Gaga must be doing something right, because I know who is is right off the bat and I know her music, but this Prick????? Please! Find another way to get Press, Joel Greene.

However no one ever said Liam could sing-Noel has a sound but quite honestly, he also has an opinion about everything and it's usually wrong. Lady Gaga is talented and write melodic hooks but her much vaunted visual creativity is based on "how can we push this without true artistic reason".

Noel and his brother used to be handsome and cute, with venomous mouths.
Now they look embittered and haggered, the poison has come to the surface.
As a former non-fan of Lady Gaga, the woman's duet with Tony Bennett is absolutely stunning. She can sing, I like her politics, and I hope she takes on many more projects like this duet.
LOVE HIM
